  Sorry?

    It's silly, shouldn't be considered the correct viewpoint, but a great soundbite and a nice principle from a very intelligent man. Waters down life. Interolance gets vetted out with prosperity but it's not necessarily the requirement to achieving it as history has shown. I'm not sure how to respond to the bit claiming that societies are destroyed by intolerance - did Popper own any history books? Is China doomed to fail today? I wasn't expecting any up votes, but please tolerate my viewpoints!

      please tolerate my viewpoints! How could we? You presented none in your original post. Interolance gets vetted out with prosperity but it's not necessarily the requirement to achieving it as history has shown (...) the bit claiming that societies are destroyed by intolerance I don't see where Popper said anything about prosperity or destruction of society as a whole.
